Chapter 24: Enrolling in trouble
Everyone immediately calmed down when they saw that Old Xing was coming.
Although they have a good personal relationship with Lao Xing, it is precisely because of this that they know that Lao Xing is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes.
Not to mention them, even if the children of officials dare to cause trouble in Qixia Town, Lao Xing will do whatever he wants.
Moreover, there was nothing wrong with them, and they were all forced by the shopkeeper, so they took this opportunity to step down.
When the shopkeeper saw that Old Xing was coming, he knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter.
"Oh, Old Xing is here. Come on, let's see the tea for Chief Xing." The shopkeeper quickly greeted with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lao Bai quickly wanted to pour water for Lao Xing, but Lao Xing obviously didn't take this trick. He said straight to the point.
"I'm fine, I'm here to deliver a letter to you this time."
As he said that, Old Xing took out the letter Xiao Liu gave from his arms and handed it to Zhanggui Tong.
Manager Tong took the letter curiously and saw that it was for her. She quickly opened it curiously and started to look at it.
On the other hand, Lao Xing asked Lao Bai and Dazui with sharp eyes.
"What were you two doing just now?"
Hearing Lao Xing’s inquiry, Lao Bai and Dazui shook their heads and explained with a smile. “It’s nothing, we were just having fun.”
After hearing the two of them explain that it was just a joke, Old Xing looked at the two of them carefully and knew that they were not lying.
However, Old Xing still warned.
"Don't mess around if you're okay in the future, otherwise, I know you, and I don't know you the knife in my hand."
After saying that, Old Xing drew his sword and warned him.
Old Xing was in a bad mood today, and Xiao Liu went to explore Cuiwei Mountain alone. Although he believed that Xiao Liu's skills would be fine, he was still a little worried.
When the two of them were frightened by the old Xing, they nodded and responded. "Yes, yes, yes..."
But at this moment. "No!"
The shopkeeper's scream frightened everyone.
Everyone quickly looked back curiously, and saw the shopkeeper looking at the letter in his hand with disbelief.
"This is not true!"
Looking at the shopkeeper's incredible look, everyone came over curiously, wanting to see what was written in the letter, even the illiterate big mouth followed him over.
Only Lao Xing, who had known for a long time, was sitting alone with an old god. He picked up the tea at the table and took a sip of it, suppressing the slightly irritable mood in his heart.
Everyone looked at the letter in the shopkeeper curiously and found that it was just an ordinary admission notice.
Is it necessary to make such a fuss? Everyone couldn't understand why the shopkeeper was so excited.
However, it is true that things have to go through and without having to experience them personally, who can understand the shopkeeper’s current feelings?
Although the shopkeeper is like Xiao Guo, both born in a genius family, her fate is completely different from that of Xiao Guo.
The shopkeeper is not like Xiao Guo. Xiao Guo has been determined to be a heroine since she was a child. Although she does not have this talent, her family did not restrain her, but let her go to the scene by herself.
The shopkeeper is different. Although she was born in a noble family in the world, her family education was very strict. She received the so-called female ethics education since she was a child. Not to mention going to school, even if she went out, there would be more than a dozen people following her.
It can be said that she is a daughter who is truly raised in the boudoir.
Of course, this may also be related to the experience of being hijacked in her childhood.
But in general, in the eyes of others, this seemingly very ordinary schooling is a desire and a dream that she could not get in her childhood no matter what!
Now, her dream that she once had never been able to seek was finally realized in Xiao Bei, who was regarded as the next generation by her. You can imagine how excited she is now.
However, no matter how excited one is, sometimes the more excited one is, the more likely one will ignore some things. As the saying goes, care will be messy.
However, let’s not mention what happened next in Tongfu Inn. Let’s take a look at Xiaoliu at this time.
———————————————————————————————
Speaking of which, after Xiao Liu parted with Lao Xing, Xiao Liu first inspected all the areas he was responsible for, and then rushed towards Cuiwei Mountain.
Cuiwei Mountain is just south of Qixia Town. It has high mountains and lush forests. As soon as Xiao Liu left the gate of the town, he saw the mountain from afar.
Even if the endless mountains are several miles apart, they are clearly visible.
However, as the saying goes, the horses are dead when they look at the mountain, even if they can be seen from afar. However, with Xiao Liu's current foot strength, it took him half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the green mountain in front of him, Xiao Liu couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly. This mountain is so big, not to mention a day, even if he is given a week, he will probably not find it at all.
Moreover, the mountains are high and dense forests are not known, so the dangers are unknown. No wonder these bandits were looking for Ansheng here. This is a good place to avoid searches by the government.
Looking at such a majestic Cuiwei Mountain, Xiao Liu did not rush into the mountain. He first came to a small village at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.
Because this village is located in the mountain pass north of Cuiwei Mountain, it is called Beikou Village.
As early as the first day he discussed with his master, his master suggested that he come to Beikou Village to investigate first.
Because this Beikou Village is backed by Cuiwei Mountain, the woodcutters and hunters in the village often go to the mountains to make a living. It can be said that if there are really bandits in Cuiwei Mountain, then the villagers of Beikou Village will definitely be the first to discover it.
Xiao Liu had already arrived in Beikou Village five days ago. At that time, he found the village chief of Beikou Village to ask about the bandits.
As expected by his master, the news of bandits in Cuiwei Mountain was coming from the villagers of Beikou Village.
However, what disappointed Xiao Liu was that these villagers had only seen these bandits once when they entered the mountain in the middle of the night.
Moreover, since it was midnight, they didn't know how many of this bandits were. They only knew that one or two were not the right one.
Since that time, these bandits have never appeared again, as if they were scared into the mountains by something.
However, the villagers can be sure of one thing, that is, the bandits are definitely still in the mountains, because hunters entering the mountains occasionally find traces of their actions, and those traces are still left behind.
After Xiaoliu went back to discuss with Lao Xing, the two of them had a more headache.
Because this can basically be confirmed that this group of people is not refugees, because if they are just refugees, it is impossible to hide in the mountains like this.
There are usually only two situations for hiding in the mountains that are afraid of being scared. One is that they are bandits, and they are also a group of bandits who have done major cases. They hide in the mountains because they are afraid of being chased by the government or people in the martial arts world. They are even chased into the mountains.
The other is that they are trying to avoid revenge or to live in seclusion in the Jianghu family. If this is the case, it will be much easier.
After all, what they fear most is to cause trouble. As long as they don’t cause trouble, they will do whatever they like to do in the mountains. As long as they don’t set fire to the mountains, the local governments will not bother to care about them.
And what all this is like depends on the results of Xiao Liu's investigation today.
"Brother Lin, Brother Zhang, I'm working hard." Xiao Liu said with fists to the man wearing gray coarse cloth clothes beside him, holding a long fork.
These two people are the hunters in the Beikou Village, and they are also the guides who will take Xiaoliu into the mountain today.
Originally, Xiaoliu didn't want to take them there, but the two brothers insisted on following Xiaoliu into the mountain.
"Why are Constable Yan? We brothers are going to go into the mountain. To be honest, if we don't know if these people are bandits, we will not feel at ease. Not to mention going into the mountain to hunt, we will not feel at ease even if we sleep every night." The sturdy man quickly answered.
As villagers in Beikou Village, if the group of people in Cuiwei Mountain are really bandits, then they will definitely be the ones who are in danger first.
Although rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests, don’t forget that there is another saying, “Whether others are snoring on the side of the bed, bandits are not rabbits, they are wild beasts, and they eat people more fiercely than tigers.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but appreciate the courageous appearance of the two of them. He refused to refuse, after all, he was really a little brave enough by himself.
Not to mention whether he could find the bandits, if he entered the mountain alone, the poisonous insects, snakes and beasts in the mountain would probably be enough for him to drink a pot.
In this way, Xiao Liu entered Cuiwei Mountain under the leadership of two hunters.
The Cuiwei Mountain is continuous and the mountain road is even more rugged and steep. Fortunately, it is guided by the guide, and Xiao Liu has been practicing light skills these days. Now he is as quick and flexible as a monkey and cheetah in his actions, so he has not been hindered much.
The two hunters who led the lead looked at Xiaoliu's light and agile appearance, which was amazing. Xiaoliu's climbing mountain was easier than those of them who had been hiding in the mountains since childhood.
"Constable Yan, are you the legendary light skills?" The hunter with a more extroverted personality couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Xiao Liu heard his inquiry, he was also a little satisfied. His hard practice these days was not in vain. If he hadn't had this light skills, he would not have been so relaxed today. As expected, there would be no harm in learning one more skill.
"Yes, Brother Zhang." Xiao Liu responded with a smile.
Cuiwei Mountain is very vast, and the bandits are hiding deep. Xiao Liu and the others have been walking for half an hour and have not yet arrived at the place where they are. At this moment, Xiao Liu couldn't help but wonder.
Are these bandits really the bandits in the original book? How did Yang Huilan find them, or did they move out later?
———————————————————————————————
Just as Xiao Liu and his friends were searching for the traces of the bandits, a group of guys holding sharp blades in the deep mountains were also groping forward in the forest.
From time to time, they held the swords in their hands and slashed the weed vines on the way.
After slashing for a while, the leading man was so angry that he didn't want to do it anymore. He directly inserted the knife in his hand into the soil beside him.
"What's wrong?" his companion next to him asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? We robbed so much money and did not go to have fun, but instead hid in the deep mountains and forests, and were companions with the poisonous insects and beasts every day. What's wrong?" The man vented all the dissatisfaction in his heart in one breath.
Listening to the man's words, some others were also a little unhappy and inserted their knife on the ground. To be honest, they could not stand this kind of life anymore. They originally thought that they could be happy and happy after being a big shot, but they didn't expect that they would fight to the death and get it.
However, although most people are complaining, there are also several more sensible people who quickly comfort them.
"Okay, don't complain. Are you the boss the same as us? And don't worry, Brother Xie has told me that as long as you avoid this storm, everyone will have a share of the 30,000 taels of silver! You think about it, 30,000 taels!!!"
When they heard this 30,000 taels, everyone's eyes magnified. They had been bandits for so long, but they still grabbed so much money at once.
These 30,000 taels are divided by one hundred of them, and each person can get three hundred taels.
Three hundred taels, then at that time, they can find a remote town to be a landlord or something, or find a place to be a small boss, even if they don’t become bandits.
"Are you saying true?" someone asked in disbelief.
The person asked quickly said, "There is still a false one. This is what Brother Xie told me in person. He said that the boss agreed and said that after the matter was over, he would take out 10,000 taels of silver to all the brothers to share?"
When I heard that there was money, all the people who were still sitting and didn't want to do it stood up one after another.
Even if a person has 100 taels of silver, each person can still have 100 taels of silver. Although 100 taels are not as good as 300 taels, it is also a huge sum of money.
Since the head of the family said it in front of so many brothers, it is definitely impossible to regret it. After all, you must know that as a boss, you may not have high martial arts skills, but you must talk about your loyalty.
Even if he hadn't said it before, after this spread today, all the brothers knew it. He just wanted to be indistinguishable. After all, this anger was hard to break.
For a moment, one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds, and all the bandits became alive again.
